Does Your Atlanta Home Need a Panel Upgrade for a Level 2 Charger?
Mar 12, 2025
Metro-Atlanta drivers face the nation’s sixth-longest daily trek, averaging 19 miles and 39 minutes each way. Relying on the Level 1 cord that shipped with your EV adds only 2–5 miles of range per hour and needs up to 20 hours to recover a 200-mile battery—fine for weekend hybrids, maddening for I-285 warriors. Swap to a 240-volt Level 2 wallbox and you’ll recoup 12–32 miles every hour, topping most batteries during a leisurely dinner. Up-front costs run roughly $1,500 after rebates, but shifting overnight to Georgia Power’s super-off-peak window slashes fueling costs to pennies per mile and shields you from the erratic pricing of public fast chargers. If you drive less than ten miles a day and live in an intown condo with scarce parking, Level 1 may suffice; everyone else—especially two-EV households and future Cybertruck owners—will thank themselves for the upgrade the first time a surprise morning errand pops up.
